Also note:

- The exterior of this home is monitored by 24/7 surveillance recording devices for safety.

- No gatherings or parties allowed (strictly enforced)

- Smart TVs with streaming capabilities (no local channels or cable).

- No pets permitted (service animals are allowed but please be aware the next-door neighbor has dogs and the fence separating the property does not create a great barrier. Also, the stairs in the home are difficult for many dogs to navigate. For these reasons, it is not a great home for service animals.)



Guest Access:

Guests will have access to the entire home, except for the garage, which is reserved for owners storage.



The Neighborhood:

Pleasure Point is a beloved coastal neighborhood. Known for its world-class surfing, laid-back ambiance, and breathtaking ocean views, it's a haven for beachgoers and water enthusiasts. The iconic surf breaks like The Hook attract surfers from around the world. This vibrant community boasts a unique blend of surf shops, cafes, and local boutiques. Stroll along East Cliff Drive, savor fresh seafood, or catch a mesmerizing sunset from the cliffs. With its bohemian spirit and proximity to the lively Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Pleasure Point offers a quintessential California beach experience.



This is not a good place for gatherings or parties so please keep that in mind when booking this home. We are very respectful of our neighbors and will not tolerate loud noise past curfew and additional guests at the property.



Getting Around:

- The Point Market (4 min walk)

- Capitola Village (5-10 min drive)

- Santa Cruz Main Beach & Boardwalk (15 min drive)

- The Mystery Spot (20 min drive)

- The Forest of Nisene Marks (20 min drive)

- Nearest grocery store: Whole Foods, New Leaf, Safeway, etc. (15 minute drive)

- Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park (30 min drive)



Other Things to Note:

- Please note there are fences around the property, but they are low and do not create privacy from surrounding neighbors and the general public passing by.

- This home shares a wall with the home next door. When looking at the marketing photos, the fence line shows the separation between this home & the home next door. They look like one full unit, but they are completely separate. Photos can be misleading and make it look like it is one larger home.

- We highly discourage our guests from bringing pets to stay as the home is not safe for pets :( The fence along the perimeter of the yard facing the street has gaps underneath large enough for a pet to get under. The stairs in the home also have gaps large enough that a pet could potentially fit through :( For these reasons we highly discourage bringing pets to stay at this property.

- We are required to stick to our cancellation policy and we suggest adding trip insurance for any last minute issues that may impact your travel (Weather, Illness, etc). We are not able to cancel, move or refund bookings that do not fall in our cancellation policy for any reason.

- We have landscapers, pest service, hot tub, and other property maintenance done on a weekly basis. You may see or hear these service professionals during your stay as they let themselves into the backyard to service as needed. Please be sure to ask about this before booking if you think it might be an issue for you.

- TV is a smart tv with streaming capabilities. There are no cable or local channels.

- The exterior of this home is monitored by 24/7 surveillance recording devices for safety.

    The location was great! The hot tub is in need of some repair as it looses water quickly. The communication was great especially when we needed access to the propane tanks on the the last to enjoy the sunset view with the firepit! Thanks for everything! Trina

    This property needs a lot of work! It was not prepared for renters. Things need to be repaired and fixed before we'd rent it again for 600/night! There was a damp, moldy smell as we entered the home, and a lingering sewer smell coming from the sinks' drains. The upstairs rugs are old, worn, and stained. The hot tub cover's lifting mechanism is broken and dangerous. Warning - the stairs inside are made of cement - be careful! It is not private at all - adjoined to the neighbors on one side and a much used dead-end street on the other, the back yard has a public walkway between your yard and the cliffs. Some windows don't open, the recliner and luggage rack were broken, and the locks didn't work half the time! The way the once beautiful home was cut in half, takes away a lot of the view. We only gave it 2 stars for the (only) view of the white water from the small balcony on the second floor.

    We had an amazing, relaxing stay at this lovely house on Pleasure Point. The views from the deck and hot tub were incomparable, and the location was prim. It was a comfortably appointed space with a well-stocked kitchen (important for those of us who prefer to dine in), and the OVR team was so welcoming & responsive. We love using their rentals! They never disappoint.

    Had a great weekend here with a small group of friends for a 40th birthday! We surfed and chilled. Walking distance to Pleasure Point, which was a major selling point for us.

    Location was perfect, easy access, and the bedding was incredible! Best sleep I've had in a long time. The layout was perfect for our family and we loved having the hot tub situated to overlook the ocean. Would definitely stay here again!

    The house itself was amazing. For the most part it was perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable. It was very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. The views overlooking the beautiful ocean was exactly what we wanted. We definitely enjoyed the spa on the cooler days, and it was close to a little beach area where I was able to take my kids. The only part I had an issue with was the court on the side of the house is where EVERYONE goes to party!! It starts at 8 pm and doesn’t stop until around midnight. Extremely loud music blaring, and lots of people screaming. I understand that this is not the homeowner’s fault. It was just really tough when I would put my kids to bed and they would come running to me scared because of all the loud noise. We stayed from a Sunday to a Friday and it was every night. Other than the nightlife it was a really nice place stay. If something was to be done about the partying in the court next door then we would definitely stay there again.

    Really enjoyed the location and the host was great. The only feedback is architectural. The design breaks up the view and ideally the master would have a view of the water. The amenities are nice, kitchen well stocked and the yard is beautiful.

    Everything about this place is perfection! Not only is the location is unmatched but the property was everything we could’ve hoped for. From coffee on the upstairs patio to the morning sounds of the ocean to quiet nights stargazing from the hot tub, we loved every minute of our stay. Our hosts went above and beyond in accommodating our requests and made our trip such an incredible experience. 10/10 would recommend.

    Loved the house super clean and the location is killer! To walk out and have direct ocean view, you can’t beat it. People walking by as we sat on the lawn constantly mentioned how fortunate we were to be on the property.
